Too High A Price For Harmony

Inherent in Behaviorism is the politics of Scientific Socialism, which according to Karl Marx is the “natural mechanist” transition of a society from capitalism to anarchy to socialism. Socialism is the theory or system that advocates the ownership and control of industry, capital, land, and etc. by the community as a whole. Communism is a system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state, it is often a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party. Since Behavioral Psychology was forced into the realm of “science” because of the totalitarian control of every area of life including science, it is synonymous with Marxism. It is the science of “human functioning,” of “what people do,” or “can do after you condition them, program and brainwash them.” Never-the –less, it is the treatment of people as though they were objects in natural science and treated with this “science” as though they were a mass of material.  Behavioral Psychology was accepted as a “Soviet” science and the means to re-engineer humans, to produce efficient human machines who would function according to the social needs as the state sees fit.  As a socialist or communist citizen, you are considered as functional property for the community or the state: your function is your worth and your meaning. You are a functional part of the total machinery. You are not allowed to have a mind of your own, but you are allowed to have e-motions, reflexes, reactions, opinions and attitudes that go along with the zeitgeist, the “changing times” that go with the “natural” movements, according to the mechanical laws of nature as they apply to the human organism and the social organism. These movements evolve through the stages that lead toward an organization of the mass material of humans under Communism, according to Marxists. The “the sense of belonging to the community” becomes the fact of ownership of the state and dominance of the state over all of one’s “material,” i.e. what one’s function is in society, and what one’s responsibility is in the “common ground,” as well as one’s material possessions. Everyone has equal responsibility for everyone else and all efforts on the part of the community, the parents, the teachers, and the community helpers must be focused on raising “useful” citizens in a “socialist system” as is stated in the Communist USSR Constitution. A “Soviet” mind is the results of Behavioral “science” applied to human beings.

The problem is that the Hegelian dialect is used on humans and not ideas. There is no debate of facts in education because facts have been exchanged for feelings; the fact of one’s  “being” has been turned into man’s definition of man. The Hegelian dialogue cemented man’s material nature in the notion of “Differences” and concomitantly turned all humans into the thesis and anti-thesis of the Hegelian dialect.

By misrepresenting the core of the individual, we have regressed from unalienable rights to tribal rites, from intuition to instinct and from the nobility of the mind to the savagery of slavery, from a fear of God to a fear of what man will do.
